As soon as he walked out of Daming Palace, he met Bai Chun, who looked solemn, and Pei Wanying stood next to him.
After not seeing Pei Wanying for many days, this little girl is looking more and more lithe and graceful. She looks gentle and quiet, with a complexion as clear as white jade, a pair of pure eyes, and the dimples on her cheeks are looming, and she is smiling now. Watching Li Hong come over.
"The little girl Pei Wanying has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Pei Wanying saluted in a charming voice.
"Dign and gentle, well-informed and courteous, and so beautiful, tsk tsk...how did you two get together again?" She was taken away by Bai Chun in Lantian. Unexpectedly, it has been several days, but the two women are still stuck together. .
"Sister Bai said she has something important to report to you, so I will follow you here." Pei Wanying said generously.
But she was a girl after all, so she didn't speak too openly. Bai Chun's original intention was that because the matter she wanted to report was too complicated, she wanted to take Pei Wanying with her, hoping that she could comfort the prince in front of him. Troubled mood.
Li Hong smiled and made an invitation gesture to Pei Wanying. Accompanied by Hua Meng and Cheetah, the three of them walked slowly towards the East Palace.
In the air castle, Wu Mei held a telescope and could clearly see every move of the three people. She also liked Pei Wanying's intellectual generosity, beauty and gentleness from the bottom of her heart.
After entering the East Palace, Bai Chung was about to speak, but Li Hong asked first, "Do you want to talk about Anxi and Xianyang?"
Bai Chun was not surprised that Li Hong knew it first, and since he was summoned into the palace by the queen in a hurry, and now he could guess what he wanted to report at once, it meant that his news was a step too late.
"Yes, Master. Something happened over there." Bai Chun replied quietly.
Pei Wanying looked at the expressions of the two of them. It seemed that they had something serious to talk about. Just as she was about to stand up, she was stopped by Li Hong. Li Hong smiled and shook his head, indicating that she did not need to avoid it.
"Are you involved in this? Or..." Li Hong didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Bai Chun probably understood.
"There is no cooperation. I am sure that we got the news immediately. Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were able to get the news faster than us. There must be some hidden secret. I am sending people to investigate and want to find out how they did it. I learned about it in advance." Bai Chun ignored the last part of Li Hong's sentence.
A petty man, since he came back from Anxi, he has asked him for advice on the punctuation marks in every memorial he has given to His Majesty, and now he still doubts himself.
But Bai Chun was also happy at the same time. According to her logic, this meant that the prince still cared about her. Otherwise, the prince would not have asked her if she was involved in the first place.
Although he had been placed by His Majesty's side in recent years, he had deliberately exposed himself to him at the very first moment.
Although she hid some things from him, she didn't hide anything about him at all. For this man who did not belong to her, but who would always belong to her, there was only loyalty in her heart.
Li Hong nodded in response, took the tea from Xiaoxue's hand, handed it to Pei Wanying himself, and said, "Try it, I stole my father's new tea, just brought it from the south."
Then he said to Bai Chun: "There is no need to search. I probably won't find any useful clues. But you should pay attention to a few things... The mansions of those two people must be strictly guarded now. Since they have blamed me, then I will arrange a few more assassinations for myself. This will make it more realistic and force me to be more passive."
In Li Hong's view, this matter was completely planned in advance, including the death of Helan Minyue and Li Zhong. If Bai Chun did not know about it in advance and learned about it later, it can only mean that Helan Minyue's last words were not related to Li Zhong's. Zhong's last note had already been written, but they just followed the plan.
Therefore, Bai Chun wanted to find out from Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi how they got the news faster than Jingwei. In the end, he definitely found nothing and could not find any useful clues. It was even possible that Wu Chengsi and Wu Think twice, neither of them knew anything about it, and it was possible that they were being used as a weapon.
In this case, it is better to concentrate on placing Jingwei in the residences of Li Xian and Li Zhe. As long as assassins enter these two palaces, Jingwei can be one step ahead and catch Li Xian and Li Zhe before their slaves. For those assassins, at least they can temporarily prove that they are not dispatched by themselves at the moment.
Bai Chun looked at Li Hong's leisurely and indifferent expression, and after thinking for a while, she understood what Li Hong meant. The two had been getting along for many years, and they still had a tacit understanding. But what shocked her was that the prince actually suspected Li Xian, the king of Pei. With King Li Zhe of England.
"Yes, I understand, I will make arrangements right away." Bai Chun nodded to indicate that he understood and said.
"One more thing, I remember asking you to hide the dirty things about those two people first, right?" Li Hong raised his head and asked.
"Yes, I don't know much about it. There are rumors, and I always feel ashamed of them, so I didn't pursue it too much." Bai Chun understood that this was talking about the dirty things between Helan Minyue and Li Zhong.
His Majesty only occasionally heard that he was consulting His Highness the Crown Prince at that time. What he meant was that by now, his father was not in good health, so he should not tell him this terrible thing clearly.
Moreover, His Majesty always felt ashamed of Wu Shun and Helan Minyue, and was unable to give Wu Shun a status until his death. Therefore, Li Zhi finally chose to ignore the matter between Helan Minyue and Li Zhong.
"Do you still have conclusive evidence in your hand? If so, you might as well release some to the palace. The mastermind behind the release will look at the arrangements. Whoever has the greatest suspicion will be placed on his head and attack with his spear. Don't be idle even with your shield," Li Hong said with a smile.
Bai Chun nodded again, then smiled at Pei Wanying, and then left the East Palace.
The meaning of His Highness the Crown Prince is already very clear. The mastermind behind the leak to the palace is either Li Xian or Li Zhe. One of the two must know about this very clearly, because that person must be related to Li Zhong and Helan Minyue. Together.
The death of Li Zhong and Helan Minyue was not just to enable them to take the initiative when competing for the position of prince.
Letting this matter out now can quickly relieve the overwhelming pressure on Li Hong, and can also put Li Xian or Li Zhe into trouble and prevent them from continuing to implement their plan smoothly.
After all, if it is revealed that they were responsible for the scandal in the royal family, their guilt will not be very light. This will buy Li Hong time to break the situation.
Moreover, when Your Majesty is investigating the deaths of Helan Minyue and Li Zhong, he will also investigate who caused the scandal between them.
If investigated, Li Hong could completely shirk responsibility. After all, he was in Anxi at that time, fighting bloody battles on the battlefield to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty. How could he have time to care about these things
Li Hong turned his head and looked at Pei Wanying who was holding a teacup in a daze. He shouted several times but got no response, so he put his hand in front of the beauty and shook it, and then he recalled Pei Wanying's soul.
"What are you thinking about, so absorbed in your thoughts?" Li Hong asked with a smile.
"No, no, it's nothing." Pei Wanying's eyes flashed with panic, and there was a trace of hesitation on her beautiful cheeks, and she hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? If you have anything to do, just tell me. As long as you can do it, I promise to be unambiguous." Li Hong patted his chest and said boldly.
Pei Wanying looked at Li Hong quietly, hesitating for a long time, but still didn't know how to speak, and she felt that these things about her were not worth mentioning in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, or maybe she was overthinking and gossiping too much. Already
Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying who looked hesitant, held her little hand, looked at Pei Wanying affectionately, and said, "Don't hide anything from me. I agreed through your mother, so now you are mine. People, it’s not an exaggeration at all.”
Listening to Li Hong's words, Pei Wanying couldn't help but think of the scene when she was held in the arms and bullied by the hateful man in front of her when she was at her house. Suddenly, a blush crept up her whole face, making her whole body stand out in Li Hong's eyes. It's more gentle and quiet inside.
Pei Wanying, who was holding her beautiful hand in a big hand, felt as if there were millions of ants crawling all over her body. She felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that it was held firmly and she pulled her hand away. Several times without success.
So I could only lower my head shyly, blushing and not looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, and whispered: "It's nothing, just... just... Yang Yu came to see me a few days ago."
"Yang Yu? Who is Yang Yu? Male or female, why is he looking for you? Doesn't he know you are my woman? Say, he lives there? I will kill him now! You dare to steal a woman from me? I don't want to live anymore." Li Hong was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he subconsciously didn't realize whether Yang Yu was a boy or a girl, so he made a random comment.
Although he didn't think anything of what he said, Pei Wanying's head drooped even lower when he heard it. She is your woman, so you have to marry Yang Yu before I can get in.
"Of course she's a woman, but..."
"That's fine, as long as he's not a man. If he is a man, let's see how I deal with him. Exile him for three thousand miles... No, that's a bit too light. Let's banish him for ten thousand miles. Just drive him out of the Tang Dynasty. Keep him away from my woman." Li Hong held his little hand, which made Pei Wanying blush even more.
Pei Wanying felt this cheeky man, while talking, quietly put his other hand on her slender waist.
Feeling the hand caressing her slender waist back and forth, Pei Wanying's heart beat even more violently. What she originally wanted to say was suddenly forgotten. Facing the palace maids in front of her, she At that time, I just wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in quickly.
Because she felt that the eyes of those palace maids were probably focused on her at this time, right? Would they think that they came here to seduce the prince
